The African National Congress in the Western Cape is calling for a full audit into the upgrading of council flats in Manenberg.
ANC’s Pat Lekker said the
project is filled with allegations of extortion, fraudulent claims, using unregistered
security and illegal dealings with contractors. It is alleged that contracted
construction companies have paid gangsters for security service, however the city
has denied these allegations.
Lekker said the role of implementing
contractors’ needs to be scrutinised in that the contractors that is in
Manenberg currently has not acted in god faith. They have had gangsters who are
operating as security guards and they have been paid. We are of the view that
those people on sight are unregistered and they should not be rendering a
security service if they are not registered.
“The fact that gangs are hired
for protection is immoral and the contractors and the City of Cape Town have
colluded in money laundering” Lekker added.
